ITS NOT CHRISTMAS YET
I've just been to my local shop and they are selling mince pies and mistletoe chocolate. Not only is it not even the same season as Christmas
or the same month as Christmas, it isn't even Autumn yet. We are in the last couple of weeks of Summer and they're starting to sell
Christmas things already.

They need to clear the Christmas stock, to make room for the Easter eggs coming next week.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

No, only metreologists think this. Officially, Summer is the season between the Summer solstice and the Autumn equinox. Autumn (usually) starts on
the 21st of Sepetember.

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

I heard a christmas advert on't radio yesterday. I hate christmas Not too sure why mind I just get REALLY grumpy. The fact that everyone
is running round and falsely enjoying themselves, then telling me I'm a misery really grips my s**t as well
